Pitzhanger Manor House & Gallery is a major cultural venue in West London.

The venue comprises the Grade I listed house once owned and designed by Sir John Soane (1753-1837), architect and surveyor to the Bank of England, and the adjacent gallery housed in the 1939 extension to the house.

The house was partially restored and opened to the public in the 1980s. The gallery opened in 1996 and plays host to 6-7 major art, architecture and design exhibitions annually and has shown works by UK and international artists.

In 2015 the house and gallery will close for a major renovation and conservation project which will see the house fully returned to its former glory, the gallery refurbished and upgraded, plus a new restaurant and event space built in the kitchen garden.

Venue Type:

The London Borough of Ealing owns the largest public collection of Martinware in the country. This unique collection was donated to the borough by the Hull Grundys in 1980, and now is on display in the Victorian wing of Pitzhanger Manor-House. The Martin Brothers produced the pottery from 1873-1923 in Fulham and Southall. A catalogue of the whole Hull Grundy collection is also on sale
